Well, I don't meet the minimum 1000 post, but I know a lot of 1000+ posts people that can vouch for me, such as KoolBubbaIce. I have great feedback here and over @ ebay, and would REALLY love to try the 8.35D and 450 Pro (but I'm in the market for a new closed headphone to replace my DT48a)

I would definitely trust a KBI voucher, but the reason I ask for a minimum of 1000 is that people with over 1000 posts would have enough experience and if you check their profiles, you'll see that they have few different headphones to compare. There are two things that I can offer you. First, see if someone in your area has 1000 posts and maybe you share the time with them, or just check to see if there is a return policy if you buy them from a US distributor.

I hope you understand that I can't start making exceptions and I really hope that one of these options will work for you.

I would like to try them also?

Something I wonder about this particular brand is why there are so many models, the top end is 250 USD, and there are a total of 8 headphones - that doesn't seem like a lot of room if you consider markup / profit in the specific value differentiations for the various models. If they're selling direct, that would make some sense, never the less, seems like a lot of product.

Where are these headphones built? If Germany, are they built using components made entirely in Germany?

No more europeans that want to hear these headphones?

I have no clue about their marketing strategy but I like the price level they are at

If you are european, and has a MediaMarkt in your hood, they have the 8.35D as listening cans at the cd department.

Don´t they have the 8.400? That is designed for such use.

Oh, maybe it was the 8.400

I am pleased to see more loan programs arising!

More of these programs should be available to members outside the US though. Especially a European run for this German brand, although shipping and VAT may be a hurdle.
